So with that in mind, what better way to wish your nearest and dearest a very Merry Christmas, than with one of these brilliant Die Hard-theme Christmas cards.

Available through Red Rubble, the designs include classic Die Hard catchphrases like “Now I have a machine gun, Ho-Ho-Ho” and “Welcome To The Party Pal!”.

Oh and don’t panic “Yippe-ki-yay Motherfucker!” also features prominently among the Christmas card designs. Priced at around £2 each, they are certainly more expensive than your standard pack of 10 cards from the local supermarket.

But just imagine the look on your mate’s face when they open the envelope to see a picture of Hans Gruber, descending to his doom at the end of Die Hard.

You can’t put a price on that kind of feeling. it’s Christmas magic in a bottle or, in this instance, a bit of rectangular shaped card. First films, then computer games and now cards.

“And when Alexander saw the breadth of his domain, he wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer.” Sorry, benefits of a classical education.
